How many how you guys have an RPI air scoop?

I'm trying to design my own scoop, and I have some questions.

I don't know the exact dimensions of the scoop for a 530i. So that would help.

RPI is a respected vendor here, so your inquiry may fall on deaf ears.

+1, it took hours/days of R&D to develop the perfect scoop! It's not just a scoop!

There are a couple of designs out there. I have RPi's scoop. aFe dynamic air scoop just came out also but I haven't seen anyone install it. Good luck.

No offense. lol.

but this homemade looks kinda cheesy.

Im trying to do something more professional, out of 100% aluminum, good quality stuff. My dad's company makes gates, so I should have all the materials at hand, He's also a professional welder, so he's helping me out.

that's why I ask from you guys, if you any manuals from your original RPI scoops with the design or dimensions that I could use as reference.
